“Is that stop sign getting hit all the time? Maybe we need to move it, Do we need a guardrail on that road? If we’re seeing a lot of accidents in a certain place, then maybe we ought to cut down a few trees there for sight distance.”
"Our training session with Tyler was very informative. He was very helpful considering each point we needed clarification and/or updated education on. Tina has also been extremely helpful with getting our MapViewer up and running after a change of servers. Her success is much appreciated."
"In 2011 we didn’t have PubWorks and dealing with FEMA was a nightmare. Once we started using PubWorks it became easier to satisfy FEMA requirements with the records we were able to provide. FEMA was happy to use the documentation and reporting that we produced."
“Maintaining all the town roads and understanding the costs involved are much more manageable and efficient with PubWorks.”
“I am able to quickly plug the FEMA equipment cost codes into PubWorks, generate the estimate of damages, summarize all the costs involved with the disaster as well as attach photos to a project. This eases the FEMA reimbursement process.”
"PubWorks allows us to be completely transparent and accountable to the taxpayers of Edgar County, because we can justify, demonstrate and illustrate everything we’re doing, where we’re going and how the dollars are being spent."
"Our work crew manager tells us what the project is for the day. Our workers only have to tell us where they were, what equipment they are in, and what they are doing. We made it real simple for them."
"Pulling together all the requested information was a huge headache. But there wasn’t anything that he asked for that we couldn’t run out of PubWorks. And if there was something I couldn’t figure out, by the end of the afternoon PubWorks was able to create it for me."
"Now we’re doing whole systems in PubWorks — it’s kind of everything we do. It’ll be used as kind of a check-up to make sure we’re as efficient as we can be and spending taxpayer dollars wisely by maximizing our efficiencies."
“During Sandy, we entered all the individuals and equipment we were using, along with the FEMA scheduled rates, Once that was in, each day as they went out to do work in the city, collecting debris or whatever, we’d track the trucks and equipment as it went out. We did that on a daily basis.”
"PubWorks has been a lifesaver for me. When I started my job at Stillwater County we were in the middle of a big flood FEMA event. Our guys had been doing emergency repair work on a lot of county roads. If not for the ease of data entry and the support from PubWorks I don’t know what I would have done. My FEMA liaison was extremely impressed by the reports that are generated at the push of a button."
